What you need to know

This is the very first time that Hotline Miami has been ported to a Nintendo console.

Hotline Miami may not really be considered a classic to some, but the top-down shooter has won the hearts of many and has now had its way to a Nintendo console for the very first time.

Both games of the Hotline Miami series, Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, have been released by Devolver Digital today for the Nintendo Switch. Their release allows you to dive deep into the intense, brightly-colored world where a twitch of your thumb can release carnage and destruction, a fact that makes it a favorite for players who love their shooters to be wild and chaotic.

Play as a mysterious antihero for whom violence is always the answer.

But it isn't just bullet hell, Hotline Miami has a range of ways to keep you involved, such as its unrelenting close-combat, it's unmistakable visual style and a soundtrack that you'll be unable to stop yourself listening to even after you've put the controller down.
